Re: Tire Pressure
FWIW, I have Dueler Revos on both my XJ & YJ, and they are quite quiet. I
would recommend a complete 4 wheel alignment since you have altered the
physics of the suspension with oversize tires. Bad ball joints and front
suspension parts can also cause cupping and feathering, as well as a bent
frame.

Why? I have been satisfied with the Bilsteins on my rig for 15 years. I
would love to replace them with Edelbrock's IAS, but wont do it until I wear
the Bilsteins out.

Ok, how do I get a complete 4 wheel alignment on a 2000 TJ when the
only setting to work on is the toe_in?
